    Playing one of the big multiplayer arcade cabinets like Simpsons or X-Men was the original couch co-op with whoever was at the arcade not playing pinball or pool.

    I bought the 4-Player co-op X-Men arcade cabinet from Arcade1up and it’s been a blast playing it all the way through with my son.











  • For the record, I was also immensely disappointed in XV. However I loved XVI. The ability cool downs in particular felt very ATB-like to me and I loved the customization. The story is very good and one of my favorites from storytelling perspective (in other words, HOW the story is told).

    I also really liked the combat and exploration of XII. And the Zodiac version makes it even better.

    I thought XIII had some of the best moments in the series.

    XIII-2 perfected the gameplay from XIII and made storytelling and exploration “fun”

    XIII: LR is very experimental and has some of my favorite action-based combat in the series.

    World of Final Fantasy is a lot of fun if you want turn based monster capturing.

    Stranger of Paradise is a blast. My only issue with it is that you can’t really overpower by leveling up. I hit a hard wall with a boss and the only way through is “get good”.

    I didn’t get much into Type-O but I keep meaning to.

    Theatrhythm exists. I love it, but it’s also it’s own thing entirely.




  • I never got around to playing that one. I’ll have to put it on my list to get around to. But after watching a video, it’s definitely more action than the games I was listing. The PS1 is really an endless supply of quality games. Castlevania Symphony of the Night would another great action RPG which is even more on the action side compared to Alundra.




  • I’ve got Hydro Thunder still. I literally played it like a couple weeks ago. When I was a kid I would use the GameShark to unlock all of the boats and tracks.

    I don’t know that I ever made it past the first mission of the second city in Driver 2. I remember getting into that baseball field in free-roam though. Cops and Robbers was a hell of a multiplayer game too.

    Worms Armageddon was way more difficult than it had any right being. I remember their challenges being nearly impossible. Like shoot a rocket through a pinhole using the wind.


  • So many RPGs. A few of my favorites.

    Final Fantasy VIII - It may be the best looking game on the PS1, and my personal favorite. Unique leveling.

    Arc the Lad III - The whole collection is worth it. But the third game had a streamlined polish that is rarely appreciated over the second game of the series.

    Parasite Eve - Unique gameplay and weapon upgrading (GUNS). Very adult oriented.

    Jade Cocoon - Monster capturing and MERGING. This creates completely new monsters with new stats and appearances. Infinite possibilities.

    Honorable mentions: I played these a bit, but never enough to give a full endorsement. But still they are popular picks.

    Azure Dreams - Rogue-Lite grid movement monster capture dungeon exploring.

    Legend of Dragoon - Timing emphasized attacks. Bad translations.
